(2) 4-6 When school outcast Darius Drake receives a threatening note, he approaches narrator (and perceived tough-guy) Arthur Bash for protection. Darius's investigation into who sent the note expands to include: his parents' deaths when he was three, an unscrupulous financial mogul, and long-missing treasure. Philbrick's lean prose is richly descriptive, and the short novel contains an absorbing mystery, thought-provoking reflections on class, and satisfying character development.
